Check the diameter of the receiver on yours, but it fit mine.  I think this
one said it's 1 5/8"  If I remember correctly, it was a little small for
mine, but it clamped in fine with the locking bolt.

Stuart,

Just to be sure before I order it, that link shows the mount fits 1971-73.
Is it the case (pun) that it will mount the 2.1 WBX to a floor stand?

Thanks,

A VW engine mount works fine with the WBX and lets you install the clutch
while on the stand.  Here is the cheapest one I could find:

I tossed mine out when I sold my '84, but I'm never working on a WBX again
anyway.
